These steps will help you stay motivated for your important regular workout:
- select pleasant locations for your workouts; try to avoid stuffy gyms, smell of automobiles, unappreciative audience
- do your workout outside as much as you can; I personally think that majority of your cardio workouts like running, swimming, biking, playing tennis, soccer, rowing, kayaking should be done outside
- wear appropriate clothing, maybe even a bit “professional” looking
- be careful about exercise in hot and humid weather; your exercise will feel more pleasant if done early or late in the day when the sun is low
- for running, cycling, cross country skiing, try the hills, a rolling terrain where uphill is mixed with downhill and level progression is ideal
- persevere! On occasion you feel like getting lazy, fool yourself, stop thinking, go to the closet, put on your exercise clothes very fast, get out of your house and start running or walking immediately, try to run or walk for 30 minutes
